"I'm Matt and I'm Kerry, and Ilya will do most of the work"...
they always do most of the work
"I'm Matt and I'm Kerry, and Ilya was screwed over on Forged in Fire"
@@bleach-kun he won didn't he?
I know is a joke but I've seen it in a looooot of comment sections. Reason Ilya does so much stuff is Kerry and Matt actually have to run the rest of the shop. As much as Men-at-Arms brings most of their recognition is actually making rows and rows of swords that keeps them floating, Kerry as a machinist and John as Fabricator (though early episodes show they are very accomplished smiths in their own right) do most of that. Though Matt appears more in the show and in Q&As it showed he has a bit of an apprentice relationship with Ilya
He's the blacksmith
Possibly the best work they've ever done.
Illya, you're a damn machine, it's clear to me you love your craft deeply.
there really isn't much else 'above' a katana that can be regarded as such a masterpiece. Hats off to the japanese for their 4-5 thousand years of history to eventually come up with the process of making this masterpiece.
Man, aren't you a weeb. It's funny how you know literally nothing about swords, since you think that highly about Katanas.
(don't know what a weeb is anyway so who cares) also those who know the difference about swords are those who have the time and money to care about and buy completely useless items for our day and age. although they are cool, there really is no use. It is like buying an oddly shaped kitchen knife that you can't even use in the kitchen.
Yes i don't know about swords but who cares, i sure don't and i just gave my honest opinion because yes katana really are a masterpiece among swords
This is there worst work, This katana looks NOTHING like the Kill Bill one, Not a damned thing, They spend all that time making a blade outta tamahagane And they cant even do the simplest fittings right, Just look at the fuchi n kashira, Hell the shape of the tsukae, Literally nothing but the tsuba looks similar.

美しい波紋、再現する一つ一つの細かい工程、イリヤさんは天才
I could listen to Ilya talk about japanese sword making for hours
Samurai blacksmiths are meant to be able to.
+hergie409 Katana usually take 3 month to make one :v
yuuki saito Katanas are a creation of Hollywood.
+Jordan Lawe Uhm, no. Katana (also called Shinken)is the Japanese long sword (Daitō). In modern day Japanese "Katana" is also used as common description for "sword". Though the popularity of the Katana may be made by Hollywood, the Daitō has a very long tradition in Japan which reaches back to the 14th century, maybe even earlier.
***** There's some fact I've forgotten to point out somewhere... All of a sudden my sources have evaporated lol
Green fire. That's how you know this weapon is legendary.
When gold got burn the colour is green dumbass not because of the weapon is legendary

"When we let things convey onto us, that is true artistic expression; but when we try to convey ourselves onto something else, that is dillusion."
Beautiful.
It actually makes no sense, however. The very word expression is to convey, not to be conveyed upon.
@@kazat0105 My thoughts exactly. I guess it is highly contextual and not general, else that statement would defy art itself, which is the process of conveying ourselves or our ideas onto paper through colour.
@@kazat0105 I think it goes to the idea that you can't force the thing you're working on to conform to your idea. It may break, fight you, or just simply come out wrong. The more you work with your piece and not on it, the better the result.
@@joelcastro-reyes1667 At least somebody gets it.
@@joelcastro-reyes1667 i also wonder if its the concept of its already ther you just have to find it.
Beautifully done. I was gifted a copy of “the craft of the Japanese sword” years ago and I obsessed over it. You really did it service here and brought the process to life.
What a build! Not only did you guys made ACTUAL Tamahagane, you forged it as traditional as you can get these days. You did not disappoint. We waited, you delivered! All worth the wait. HATS OFF TO YOU! NOW THAT'S BLACKSMITHING!
Paul Veilside and the clean sharpness, the smooth of the cuts!
damian blanez I'm only half way through the episode..but its "actually" sharp..it would've taken months...if not more..to sharpen a traditional katana....
Unknown Entity are these traditional katanas also sharp enough to cut through space and time? Oh or how about cutting a building in half? Maybe just chopping an anvil into little tiny pieces?
Jeff Mcfarlane
im just saying, really sharpened traditional blades can cut right through steel armor...they're sharpened so well, it's technically sharper than a razor :p
Unknown Entity Nothing ABSOLUTELY nothing can cut through forged steel armor except shears. That's why maces and war hammers were invented
That sword is priceless. But in El Paso it's worth $250.
Joel Cedric more like 750
It’s a reference you dud
Aldo Perez I know but it would cost more

Firstly so much respect to Japanese tradition for sharing the process of making such a great sword with beauty, then I would like to thank to all persons who are from "Man at Arms" who they make this sword with such a dedication, and off course the camera man how can we forget him, such a great job done by all, so much respect and so much love from Bharat (India)🙏❤️🌱.
You can actually make steel red hot just by striking it with hammer?? Man, I just learned something new today...
A fraction of all kinetic energy is always converted into thermal energy. Thats why rubbing your hands together heats them up, or why you get rope burn.
@@tomaspabon2484 Chuck Norris makes the rope catch fire when he slides down it.

Vince Fernandez You speakah Japanese likeah Japanese :-)
Very respectful of ancient and traditional Japanese culture and crafstmanship techniques. You are all saluted and did a great job Master Forgers right here.
@WOLF. E lousy sarcasm you have there
pshhh wolf sounds like he needs a good ol falcon punch to the gut
FALCO PUUUNCH!
the sword is already curve before he quench it :D
Its fake, dude.
They did not make the main process to bend the blade.
Hattori would be proud....WOW! Beautiful...just beautiful, nothing like it. It's like the sword has life inside it.
I love how true to Japanese sword making processes you were. Thank you for your dedication! ありがとうございます!
Ilya really did a great job on this build
This is probably the sharpest sword we've seen on the show
The more time and sweat put into a blade, the greater it will perform.
That One Guy ye
Not a sword it's a katana
The process takes much more time because Japanese Iron was garbage .
...? a Katana is a sword, a gladius is a sword, a saber is a sword, a rapier is a sword, ...
Oh man ! this has to BE THE BEST EVER sword making I have seen ! Ilya and Matt are geniuses at what they do !!
Love how this build stayed as close to the traditional ways as possible.
Wow, he sliced through that foam noodle as if it were a foam noodle
The idea is that it doesnt bluntly stricke the noodle, but simply glide through it, almost like it wasnt there. It's a characteristic of proper curvature and blade shape/sharpness.
@@iamnitrox yes but i think the point he was making that i could but a 5 dollar china knife and do the same.
Simon Brown I guarantee that your five dollar knife unless professionally sharpened won’t perform even remotely close to as well as a proper good knife will.
@@simonbrown285 u are right its not strong enough or hard they cut some hard thing not like foam or mat
Unless the blade is pretty sharp it will most likely knock over a pool noodle. It’s like cutting paper... paper isn’t hard to cut and nobody actually wants to use a blade to cut paper, but it’s a way to demonstrate sharpness.
Iiliya has shown great qualities as a takumi. Much respect.
Raidensnakeezio Thank you very much.
+Ilya Alekseyev For the clay, did you use furnace cement? I use that stuff for my blades as well, but my halons haven't turned out the greatest. I think i recognized the color and consistency of rutlands furnace cement. FANTASTIC build and EXCELLENT craftsmanship!
+Ilya Alekseyev Hey Ilya, I just want to say I really enjoy your work more than the others that get shown in these videos. You always seem to put every part of your heart and soul into your work and I love to see all of your creations. I could listen to you talk about your craft for hours.
+Ilya Alekseyev what you do is beauty.
+Ilya Alekseyev You are the talent in the group. It seems to me you have almost a spiritual connection to your craft... as well as when they want it done in the older style they turn to you.
I appreciate the time that was taken to research the proper traditional methods to forge this awesome sword. Thank you
Unbelievable painstaking craftsmanship, echoing a period where taking one's time to produce a work of art was natural and normal. The camerawork wasn't bad either. Excellent work.
I appreciate y'all going the traditional route forging of this blade, a whole new level of respect for you guys. I am curious if y'all are going to send it out to get it traditionally stone polished to further bring out the hamon and make it even more vibrant and sharp. The time and work put into this deserves the whole treatment. Good job.
Yeah i totally agree. It be more traditional with high quality stones
A interesting fact that you may enjoy is the fact that the katana they made is for someone that places their left hand at the top of the handle and their right at the bottom due to the placement of the minukes(sorry for the horrible misspelling).
mercilessv I completely agree! The build so far is really good, but it's not finished yet. A master polisher would bring soul of the sword to the surface, show the real hamon and turn this sword into a masterpiece!
Theelamental didnt know...
Theelamental Actually the menuki are always opposite to the palm (otherwise they'd jab you in the palm every time your blade meets a little resistance). In fact, menuki only started being put on the right side of the katana handle in modern times as a way to show off said menuki while the blade was sheathed.
"When we let things convey unto us, that is true artistic expression. When we try to convey ourselves unto things, that is delusion." ... so much yes
How true is that? Letting ideas flow in and being given the opportunity to work with them is a far more effective way of working with things than imposing your will onto something and expecting it to just work.
Then how did the iron ore become a sword....without the will of the sword maker imposing with his hammer.
@@leadpoison5998applying your will during creating and conveying ones selve unto an object are two different things!!!
It's interesting how similar that is to Michaelangelo's attitude towards sculpture. "I saw the angel in the marble, and carved until I set him free."
@@leadpoison5998 Because it was the will imposing on the sword, but the talent of the blacksmith revealing it. When you temper your will by following the heart of the metal, the result is something greater than the sum of both.
I don’t understand a godamn word they’re saying, and I love it.
especially when they start saying those Japanese things hhh
Try to listen with your cockerel :)

I wanna check your temperature with my finger. Shoot me that address
I love your profile picture.
I love finding chemistry videos that I can show to my kids to capture their attention. You have made awesome videos in that regard. Thanks!
Ilya is the traditionalist that’s why he’s immersed in his work :3 I love Ilya he’s cool
He's a very nice person, and very easy to talk to. Most people don't believe that English is his third or fourth language.
I love the thought of an old Japanese smith going to the traditional POWEERR HAMMMERRR!!
Apowahama.
Making a power hammer isn't a huge technological feet. If you watch primative technology that guy makes one using only sticks, stones, twine and a stream.
They have same labor problems kids don't wanna work
@@jimjohns3073 Sorry didnt know making progress was a bad thing dumbass
It’s the most traditional tool on hand if you think about it
I love how traditional sword making is like a science as well as an art.
This was really interesting. I have watched other videos of Samurai swords being made but your presentation made it really clear what was being done at each stage. Very well done.
This episode was a treat.
Witcher steel sword and silver sword combo? Interested to see if you can actually make a silver sword properly.
Shirokurou if you want it to actually be made out of silver, that would probably be way too expensive
Archer Yeah, so I'm curious how the team would handle it.
Archer They could actually just do electro-plating. It would be much cheaper.
Scarx2gt or just have really low percentage of silver, however silver can fuck up some of the sword properties.
Raho Vart Yeah, but you don't want the sword to be actually made of Silver, it's not like you are going monster hunting. Just coating it in a thin silver plating (like what they do when they cover things in brass).
I love when Ilya gets philosophical.
That is one badass sword.wish i had one.the making of one really makes you wanna cherish it.thanks for showing us how those magnificent swords are made.
And to think people refused to see smiting as what it truly is...a beautiful artform that takes so much discipline. Much respect for all the smiths out there.

This is why these swords are worth so much. Loads of work and effort put into them. Much respect!
200 dolars...only the old ones are expensive
there's loads of work put into them because they tamahagane steel instead of the much better crucible steel.
@@chelu7868 hahahahahahahaha... NO.... but ur a funny boy....btw dont have time or will to explain it to noob.....
@@chelu7868 The 200 dollar ones are not made like this one, they're made much faster without as much folding.
Time is money and the amount of time they spent on this ups the price.

The whole time watching this video I was thinking, “is there any thing this man can’t do??”
Ilya is definitely my favorite bladesmith. Wow! I had no idea he was so knowledgeable about his craft. Amazing!
Mine too... Unbelievable talent, and very respectful and knowledgeable of the traditional ways... That takes years and years of practice.
Illya vs Michaelcthulu in terms if giant swords
No surprise he actually won a Forged In Fire competition.
Okay. Hear me out on this.
I liked the old group. The old blacksmith dude, you probably remember. We hated you, the new group, because not only did you "take" him away from us (I know, he resigned himself over money), but you also started out by doing some weird combinations of two weapons from two different series. No one really wanted that.
And then the My Little Pony armor happened. And you finally changed your ways.
Now you do what we love, and with this video, you showed that not only you're a great group to have instead of the old guy - you're WAY better than he ever showed to be. You care A LOT more about this series, about us. You're as much blacksmith geeks, as we are anime/movie/game/whatever else. You don't do these builds because they tell you to - you take a request and think how to make is as good and as entertaining as possible.
I hope this channel keeps on growing and one day, you'll be one of the most popular channels on RUclips. You're just too good at what you do.
Pan Rysownik Rysuje word.
Pan Rysownik Rysuje i`m not sure you know but Matt Stagmer was from the old group ^^
maddog5002 Didn't know that! Shows how they apparently were holding him back!
Yeah. Didn't like how the old group would just plasma cut metal and forge the traced thingy.
What they did to the Scissor Blade episode really sealed the deal for me.
Pan Rysownik Rysuje I actually like them making original weapons instead of just copying things that have been done 'n' times before.

“It slices, it dices...it makes Julienne fries!”
This episode is amazing! Great work, guys! It's lovely watching the more raw techniques of working the metal.
Also, what's purpose of adding gold to the copper?
+SNOWMΛN I believe it's at least in part because gold is a very soft metal, making the shakudō easier to shape by hammering.
Reaching Steiner But copper is a way softer metal.
Ah, okay. After looking it up, the best I can figure is that it's just done to make the ornamental metal look a certain way, but beyond that I've no clue.
Reaching Steiner It looks like it's some real japanese alloy called Shakudo, used in ornaments for katanas. But yes, no structural info on why the usage of gold.
***** Maybe they did it specifically to puzzle curious people on youtube, hundreds of years in the future?
Keeping it educational. Wonderful job! You know, an interesting change of pace would be to try out a Chinese design, like a Jian... how about the Green Destiny from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?
Sapheiorus They made a Jian out of meteoric iron in the first season tho
Shut-In Spaceman That is true... I do love jian, though. Perhaps they could make a dao, then? Not sure what famous basis they could use for one though. I can't really think of any dao users in movies, tv or video games off the top of my head...
I mean, apart form the millions of generic dao users in kung fu movies.
Florence MacKenna they could always do Zuko's twin daos, since they made the Jian based off a Sokka's space sword
Stephen Kostes
OH RIGHT! I forgot he had those!
im down for zuko's dao
I forgot it was a kill bill video and I’ve watch this like three times already. Great work
the missing part of the movie! and, so wonderful, how you worship this old art, and by doing so, prevent it from being forgotten!

Or The Pale Blade.I wonder if the can make this because its spectral
Hey septiceye sam
I have watched many of your videos and I love watching you all work together.
I got bored from metallurgy class on campus, thanks Man At Arms, Now I'm a fun way to learn it. 😁
Samurai X's Reverse blade katana will be a good challenge, i think...
Not a bad idea
I'm no blacksmith nor craftsman, but I don't think it is as simple as that... Expert opinion? Anyone?
Sam Akechi good suggestion
+Sam Akechi
You JUST watched them forge a katana. now you want them to forge another one? No offense but thats kinda absurd, the smiths would do the same thing as in this video only the hard edge would be the inside curve which would be sharpened.
Bootney Farnsworth You TOTALLY didn't check the date when they upload the video and when I watch this didn't you...? And what's wrong with making requests? I know that won't make it straight away or even at all. AND ALSO!!! The person before you already explain how easy it is so just lay off! Please! Just, leave me alone already... I already feel stupid at it is............. no need to put salt on my wound...........TT^TT
Fucking wicked work. Ilya is a genious
*Ilya
***** His name is Ilya? It sounds like Elliot. I've been calling him like that all this time. I feel like an idiot.
THEPELADOMASTER Ilya Alekseyev, he is from Russia.
Bloodhit No wonder he's such a genius - Russians hate to lose at anything.
Victor Diehl You know, now that you mention it, this made me realize something.
This is a totally American made Katana. The ore came from North Carolina, the smiths have their shop set up in Baltimore (Stagmer Bros. of Baltimore Knife & Sword), and almost all their tools are American (I'd argue the power hammer isn't, but everything else they own is).
Wow I finally found a video of sword crafting with actual English so I can understand the steps. Great video. Looks amazing
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.😂 it would be a dream come true make a katana, or even watching 😂
best episode so far :D loved it :D
+1
Definately
StickyTank Japanese swordsmiths were not magical, and the katana is not the 'ultimate weapon'. But...it's like watching a chef make a Michelin star meal from offal. And from the aesthetics, the metallurgy, the skill, there is nothing that straddles the line between the best and worst of humankind. A piece of fine art, designed to end life. What a dichotomy.
***** gotta love our species, right?
Damn right loved this episode and I'm not even big on katanas
This Is my favorite "Reforged" episode to date. Truly amazing....
6:53 I don’t know why, but when the hit the steel that hard during forging, it’s very satisfying to watch.
I wish this was even longer I would watch this stuff for hours while I do scale modeling!!
You guy's are my hero, I want to be a blacksmith when i grow up
alexander s why wait?
How old are you? If you're old enough to work in the garage by yourself, or your mom/dad will help you, you can make a simple forge with a coffee can and blow torch (find instructions on RUclips) get a flat hammer and a small anvil and start practicing now
Ok- I'll go find scrap steel on the street!
There everywhere on my block!
Good luck kid. Try not to hurt yourself and go out and become a master smith
Thank's, those word's will inspair me till i am one!
by far the best episode of the series.
Awesome video. I watch a lot of modern-day forging shows but have always been curious how early ancestors actually created metals out of what's found in the ground. Now I know! Thanks!
Great looking blade . Very impressive watching you guys building the sword.
This was so beautiful!
***** Very good and nice work !! I live in japan(^_^)/ sugoi desu!
Wow, with that much time, efforts and materials put into this sword I'm afraid to imagine it's price.
Thorin Oakenshield Also, is there anything Ilya can't do ?
Thorin Oakenshield he's a great guy, but i doubt he can reproduce.
unless he's already married in which case im a total douche and i sorry.
Thorin Oakenshield A traditionally forged Katana is roughly £10,000 but can go upto £30,000 from Japan.
I've seem even more expensive ones with old ivory.
Priceless

Interesting you should say that as when I watched a documentary on this it showed that the swords could not just be bought, they only sold them to those who had done something with their life that made them worthy of having the sword, the man who owned the shop went as far as saying he had turned down offers far greater in value than what he had asked for the sword because the people thought money was all that mattered
simply beautiful. the work, crafting and the end result.
gorgeous craftsmanship.
not just the sword, but the process.
Am I the only one who thinks Ilya is just the best?
MAYDAY5483 what's Ilya?
ax_222 22 You mean whom ... Ilya is the man who performed most, if not 80%, of the making of the sword you see ... he is widly regarded by us Men at Arms fans as perhaps the best swordsmith there, even better than both Matt and Kerry, due to his techincal skill & ability, and sheer knowledge base ... watch the episode where they make Excalibur from King of Avalon... his workmanship is just draw-droppingly staggering, and perhaps the finest sword ever made by MaA ...
I think he also joined and won an episode in forged in fire on history
Ilya is a freaking artist!!!
My Boy Ilya is the backbone of this show . He does all the work and knows all the traditions of a forger 💪🏽
This might be my favorite project these guys have worked on
I think this is my favorite episode by far. I really enjoyed the attention to detail and traditional techniques.
I AGREE 100%
I agree 100% . The traditional techniques made the video great
Ashton Arauz I hope they get ready with kill bill vol.3?
richard adkins sr we sure hope they get ready with kill bill vol.3
Ragnar Danneskjold they should get ready with kill bill vol.3
never heard of making fire by hitting steel with hammer. cool
I know! Good to know in an emergency, like getting stuck in the now.
you mean hot? hehe
I never new that either and i make knives lol
I've tried it. It's easy to get the steel hot, but I've never managed to get the steel red hot. I've never met a blacksmith who has been able to do it either, and I know many Master smiths.
@@SickWheyfu I break steel wire by bending it back and forth fast to generate heat then the steel fail. But hammering to red hot take imagination and will power.
This was beautiful!!!
You guys really went organic for this one.❤
Holy Cow... I've been begging since Man at Arms started for you guys to make a traditional Japanese Sword, using only technique and technology of the time, and holy cow... you guys delivered, and with Hattori Hanzō.

I really enjoyed the story telling involved with this one. Great job
Bob Stacy Thank you for watching. When we were filming I said quite more on camera and everything said had a footnote at the end (academic and scholarly literature or primary sources).
Ilya Alekseyev wow really loved it how many hours did you put in to making the sword
***** that belpwa profile pic though.
haha, ( thanks, been a while since i finished the show.) and paranoid about Xana? XD. that is awesome though.
It took me and the rest of the team two weeks of labor to make the sword. Some prep work was done before the filming (sorting some tamahagane, ensuring quality of materials, preparing a paddle...). Most of the forging was done in about a week an a half (we are given about a week on camera to make six items).
For a second I thought I was watching FORGED IN FIRE 🔥 LOL was waiting to hear " your sword 🗡️ will KEEEYYLL" 😂
This guy’s knowledge of Katana are absolutely well over the knowledge of it that ordinary People who live in Japan have.
Phenomenal.
This felt less like watching you guys make the Kiill BIll sword and more like watching you guys just make a sword and I absolutely loved it!!!
I never knew Hephasteus was Russian.
I know right? Ilya is definitely my favorite.

These guys aren't just bladesmiths ..they are true, real deal, artist
The video I watched before this one was one about a katana made by a traditional Japanese master. All of the techniques were completely the same. You were very respectful of their culture and I think they would be honored. Good job!
Except for bending the sword
I love at 4:41 you can see a dragon on his hammer...so cool.... wonder if he made it himself
Matt Stagmer you guys are good!
Matt Stagmer Where did you guys, and particularly Ilya learn to do this stuff?
forlornspawn817 They most likely apprenticed under another blacksmith
***** There is also a pretty nice view of it at 3:04
Matt Stagmer how did he mange to get the dragon in the top?
Now make Gengi's Dragonblade
hell yeah
YEEEESSSS
Absolutely
this sword killed genji hanzo killed him but mercy revived him
+KAHVI KIRAHVI Hanzo didn't kill him, he almost did but mercy cured not revived him.
And the invention of the firearm makes the sword beautiful wall art.
There's so much work and craftmanship for just one sword, its insane. No wonder Katanas are so popular
How about Shirou Emiya's twin blades - Kanshou and Bakuya?
AznZanget ++
or the barsaker sword
AznZanget YES YES YES PLEASE DO THAT!
AznZanget yayaya do that!!!
AznZanget First of all, Archer was the one to first replicate those blades. It would be nice to mention where the blade and character is from to they can quickly gather reference material and to know what they hell they are making, for this case I will say the the series with the superb animation, Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works. I have actually been suggesting these blades from day one Man at Arms was serialized.
AznZanget I was just thinking about commenting on suggesting this hahahahaha.
Ilya has a real, I mean *REAL* passion for this stuff. Damn, I respect that man so much.
Yeah, dude...he is fucking way in it...
Crazy how much work was put into Samurai swords. As someone who doesn't know anything about blade...it's mind boggling how this was figured out from trial-error & then perfected. Just wild.
Very impressive work, outstanding know how and a piece of art sword. Congratulations and many thanks.
